why isn't there a series about the laundry files

because Charles stross would probably have to be involved somewhere in the creative process and that's just vile

a lot of things people would think are scary while tripping are actually really great

but I watched the movie soul plane while tripping and I got really really uncomfortable because the plane had like 200 people in it and it was larger on the inside than the outside

the only movies i ever watched on acid were The Rocketeer and Dragnet. i remember thinking i was joe friday at one point during dragnet but the rest of it is just a blur. all i remember from the rocketeer is the first time he flies i said "i could do that" and my wife laughed her rear end off because she was tripping too

i watched finding nemo the first time i dropped acid. then i took a car ride during a blizzard where i thought i was an astronaut on another planet and the driver was mission control. i narrated the whole trip like "day 32: we have entered the bleak wastelands, no other signs of life"

I don't actually go watch every single godawful TV show just so I can say I saw one with a unique plot point. Like I don't have a separate, empty folder in my zillion-terabyte anime storage rack for the category "Bad Guys Win, Nuke City" that has just been sitting there waiting for the perfect show to fill it.
